Boost Gauge Question

I did a search and couldn't find the answer... So, I pose this question to the audience...

I'm "FINALLY" going to be installing some gauges in my truck and I was wondering what size boost gauge to get? 35psi, 60psi or what? I'm running a 4" exhaust and a Diablo Sport Predator tuner.

Suggestions, please, before I purchase?

Get atleast the 35#.
I got the 30# and can peg it so I dont ever know how much boost I am actually making.
Also tap the boost elbow instead of the map line to eliminate needle flutter.

I was doing some reading today about the elbow tap. That's definately the way I'm going to go.

Did you notice any difference with the ZooDad?

I guess. Can't really tell at slower speeds, but it does seem to git up a bit more at highway speeds. Let's put it this way, my truck, on the 100hp tune, will out run a G35 coupe with a good driver behind the Infiniti's wheel.
